Kindergarten Self-Portraits

Hi! We're in Kindergarten! 

Kindergarten students created fun self-portrait collages. 

They loved using a variety of materials such as construction paper, tissue paper, felt, and fabric.

 Each student chose his or her own hair, eye, and skin color.

Art Show Photos

Young School had a successful K-2 Art Show at the Performing Arts Center.

Second grade students created wonderful clay penguins. 

The students carefully molded the different body parts of their penguin.

Next, they painted their penguin.

Finally, a piece of wood was painted blue to represent water and styrofoam was glued into place to create ice.

We identified different types of penguins such as the Emperor Penguin, the Rockhopper, and the Chinstrap Penguin.

Frequently asked questions:

Do I have to stay for the whole hour during the Art Show?

No. Please note this event is a POP IN event. There is no formal ceremony.

Where is the Performing Arts Center?

The Performing Arts Center is located at Burlington Township High School.

What is there to do at the Art Show?

There will be a small art activity for the children, an art raffle, and a large poster for parents to write a message for the artists. Also, there will be over 200 pieces of art to view!

Why doesn't my child have artwork on display?

Mr. Giannetto and Ms. Moore have included as many students' projects as possible. The space is very limited at the Performing Arts Center and as a result a sampling of projects is chosen. Each child at Young School has the chance to display work in the hallways and at other art events such as the End of the Year 2nd Grade Art Showcase or the revolving display at the Board of Education Offices.

What if there is bad weather?

Please check back to this blog for updated information. Also, in the event that the Opening Night is postponed you may receive an email notification from the district and/or a new updated invitation.

Kindergarten: Shaving Cream Snowmen

Shaving Cream Snow 

Kindergarten Art 

First, we painted with a shaving cream/glue mixture to create a snowman in a wintry scene. 

The students loved painting with shaving cream! 

 Next, we added pine trees by printing with a piece of cardboard. 

Finally, details were added to the snowman and we used a Q-tip to create snow. 

1st Grade: Cardinals

Cardinals in Winter 

1st Grade 

First, the students drew a cardinal and painted it red.

Next, they added details with a black marker and cut out the cardinal. 

 Then, they created an environment for the cardinal by painting a branch and pine needles. 

The students enjoyed stamping the pine needles with a piece of cardboard. 

Finally, they added snow to create a winter scene. They loved using a Q-tip to create the snowflakes.

I'm very proud of the students' work!
